Four bolts and two brackets. Two of the bolts attach the front of the
hardtop to the windscreen, the other two attach it to the rear edge of the
cockpit. Then there are two brackets that go at the 'B-post', these can be
of two different types. Use long brackets to attach it to the seatbelt hook
fixing bolt. This is if you take out the softtop. If you leave the softtop
in place, use a shorter bracket to attach it to a tapped hole at the top of
the hood frame mounting bracket.

Any Spitfire parts pusher will supply the appropriate hardware.
